Arundhati Roy

The FIR was registered following a complaint from journalist Sagarika Ghose whose name appears in the list of women which include authors Shobha De and Arundhati Roy, and activists Kavitha Krishnan and Shehla Rashid.

Irked by Roy's presence at a function here, where she was presented an award instituted after social reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, activists of BJP's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a noisy protest at the venue.

Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy on Wednesday accused BJP and RSS of using the ideas of B R Ambedkar to justify 'ghar wapsi' campaign, which she claimed was based on politics rather than religion.
